$50K Dog Wash Pilot Program (10 Spots)
In 2019, we placed our first two dog wash machines in a corner parking lot near San Diego's most popular dog beach.
We weren't experts.
We had day jobs, bills to pay, and the same fears you probably have right now:
What if nobody comes? What if I waste money I can't afford to lose?
What if I don't know enough about business to make this work?
Six years later:
80,000+ happy dogs washed
4 thriving locations
12 self-serve machines generating consistent revenue
We're not special—we're just like you. We started small, made plenty of mistakes, and figured it out one step at a time.
The difference? We have a process that works.
Now we're sharing every detail of that process with you, so you don't have to spend years learning what we discovered the hard way.
What's Included in the program:
Here’s what I’m doing with a small pilot group this November.
It’s called The $50K Dog Wash Program, and it’s designed to help you design and validate your self-serve dog wash business in just 30 days—so you can launch confidently and avoid wasting tens of thousands on the wrong setup, lease, or location.
You’ll walk away with:
✅ A launch-ready business blueprint
✅ Personal feedback from me
✅ Proven tools, templates, and content
✅ Clarity to know if this business is right for you—before you sign a lease or buy a single machine
Because picking the wrong location or investing without a plan could cost you everything. We’re keeping this pilot small—only 10 spots, and applications close November 15.
The Model is Simple
Phase 1: Pick the Right Spot
We’ll nail your ideal location, traffic flow, and setup requirements so you can choose the best possible site with confidence—and avoid wasting tens of thousands on the wrong one.
Phase 2: Get Customers
You’ll learn how to get your dog wash on the map—literally and digitally. We’ll pick your platform, create your launch content, and set up simple ways to bring in your first paying customers fast.
Phase 3: Keep Customers Happy
You’ll make your dog wash easy to use, easy to get help from, and easy to love—so customers come back again and again, and your reviews do the selling for you.
Bonus: Set It Up Right — a quick-start system that helps you avoid rookie mistakes and get moving fast.
How It Works
Location Feasibility Checklist — so you know exactly where your dog wash will thrive without wasting time or money on the wrong spot.
One-on-One Blueprint Review — so you don’t waste a dollar on the wrong setup, lease, or layout and walk away knowing you’re ready.
Marketing Map Template — so customers can literally find you on day one, online and in your neighborhood.
Content That Brings People In (15-post swipe file) — so you never wonder what to post and always know how to get bookings fast.
Self-Serve Setup Guide — so your station is easy to use, easy to run, and keeps customers coming back.
Pre-Launch Checklist — so you know exactly what to do (and in what order) to go from idea to ready-to-roll.
We’ll keep eyes on your progress the whole way so nothing slips through the cracks.
Pilot-Only Bonuses
✅ Personal Plan Review — I’ll go over your plan personally so you know you’re on the right track.
✅ 1:1 Messaging Support — get answers and feedback, without waiting for calls.
✅ Extra 1:1 Call (60 mins, anytime) — use it when you need a deep dive or a sanity check before signing anything.
All available right away once you join. 100% Launch-Ready Guarantee. If you don’t walk away with a clear plan and full confidence to launch, you don’t pay. Simple.
You’ve got:
✅Access to resources (cash, credit, or partner funds).
✅Around 10 hours a week to put toward your dog wash once the plan’s done.
✅The drive to make decisions and move, not sit on the fence.
✅A real desire to own a business that earns, not another hobby that costs.
✅The guts to follow a proven plan instead of guessing.
Who This Is For:
This is for people who are ready to build, not “thinking about it.”
This isn’t for tire-kickers, dabblers, or anyone “just curious.”
If you’re still browsing, save this for later.
If you’re ready to launch in 2026, this is your green light.
No theory, no fluff - just the real numbers, actual processes, and hard-won lessons from 6 years of owning and operating a self serve dog wash business.
Pilot Pricing
This pilot is capped at 10 spots.
You’ll get founders’ pricing: $995 pay in full, or 3 monthly payments of $375.
Next round will be higher, and this level of access won’t be offered again.
